Thanks to planned publicity, many citizens of Mithril City have become interested in Forsbarrow.
Due to the previous war, the port area of Miyin City was destroyed, and the east and west urban areas also suffered varying degrees of damage. The Yinlin River, a freight channel, also needed a large-scale dredging and a series of water conservancy reconstruction. The combination of many unfavorable factors.
Below, Misilver City, the pearl of the north, also looks a little dim.
As a result, the post-disaster reconstruction had just begun, and the nobles and the king started fighting. The Illuminati directly bypassed the tax collectors and collected the second tax from the residents of Mithril City, almost wiping out the wallets of the residents of Mithril City in one wave——
Life is already so difficult, and looking to the future, Mithril City will continue to be difficult for who knows how many more years. In this case, if you are not interested in Forsbarrow, then you just love your hometown!
In the end, under the dual influence of the fermentation of public opinion and the effect of demonstration, combined with the face earned by Lux's thousands-mile rescue last winter, when the Northern Walkers set out on their return journey, there were more than 30,000 families traveling with them.
Most of these people are small traders in Mithral City, as well as farmers who had some of their farmland destroyed and who had worked hard for a year but found nothing to achieve. They did not follow Lux and leave in the winter because they hoped to stay in Mithral City.
Starting all over again, but just in time for the two-crop tax, the last bit of hope was shattered, so I simply left my hometown and chose to go to Forsbarrow.
In addition, there are a few people who are related to the immigrants of Forsbarrow and are willing to go to Forsbarrow with their relatives or friends, including Ino's parents and brother - their family
He successfully survived the siege of Mithril City, but after the subsequent reconstruction of Mithril City and the arrival of the two-crop tax, he lost confidence in the city. Under the strong decision of Ino's mother, Ino's brother gave up.
He was serving as a military officer in Mithril City, and followed the Northern Walker to Forsbarrow, intending to defect to Ino.
Although Ino was not in Fosbello for the time being, Lux and Sona both took the time to receive the family, and promised to come to them directly if they had any questions, and then arranged Ino's brother to join the reserves of the Northern Walkers.
As long as he can successfully pass the assessment, he can join the Northern Walkers.
Then, after receiving the immigration representatives and confirming the number of immigrants, an extremely important matter finally appeared at the center of Forsbarrow's work.
Urban expansion of Forsbarrow.
……………………
As mentioned before, Fosbarrow is essentially a fortress city, an important pass guarding the passes of the Dragon's Back Mountains. The terrain here is difficult, one man can guard the pass, and no one can open it. It is an absolute key place.
Before Lux arrived, Forsbarrow developed very poorly, largely because of the special terrain and climate here.
Now, with the continuous cooperation between the royal guards and the local herb collectors in Forsbarrow, the residents of Forsbarrow have vaguely seen the direction of tomorrow. Unlike other cities that have been hit by the two-crop tax, Fusbarrow is usually extremely low-key.
However, Sibailuo has maintained a stable and positive trend, and everyone is full of expectations for the future.
It's just that the local population of Forsbarrow is too small. Although there is development potential, it will take some time to turn the potential into reality. In order to increase the population as much as possible, Lux has specially formulated a population attraction strategy.
, harvesting wool directly from Mithril City’s “parent’s home”.
The act of gathering wool was very successful. The crown guards of Mithral City had no good way to deal with this aunt, but the wool was collected to be knitted into sweaters, and they wanted to let these residents who migrated from Mithril City
To settle down in Forsbarrow, it is no longer enough to just rely on the old city of Forsbarrow.
As a fortress city, Forsbarrow's urban area is limited and it is very difficult to expand further.
In order to absorb and accommodate more people, Forsbarrow must expand the new city.
As for the new city of Forsbarrow, Lux - or Karya - actually had plans for it. According to Karya's plan, the new city of Forsbarrow and the new port should be integrated.
The city of Forsbarrow continued to be maintained as a fortress, while the new city of Forsbarrow, as the economic center, was built at the end of the remnants of the Dragon's Back Mountains, fifty miles south of the current Forsbarrow.
The northwest part of New Forsbarrow City is where the ice-free port terminal of New Port is located. By then, New Forsbarrow City and New Port will be connected into a trade zone, connecting ocean trade and canal shipping.
Kalya has already prepared a specific urban construction plan. Last year, a team of legal guardians also conducted a simple hydrological survey of the area where the Freezing Port is located. From a design perspective, there is no problem with the construction of the new port and new city.
But design is design, and if it involves construction, there are not many specific problems at all.
The first is the construction crew.
Although the Archon has formed a special magic construction team, and its construction efficiency can be said to be the highest in Demacia, in the past, their main construction content was to dig artificial lakes and canals, which were dry water conservancy projects.
And now bringing them over to build the city... Although the efficiency should be pretty good, many things have to be learned from scratch, so the speed is naturally not guaranteed.
Secondly, the issue of construction materials is also worth considering.
According to Demacia's usual style, the city walls should use forbidden magic stone, and the docks at the port should also use forbidden magic stone materials. Theoretically, if the lords want to build city docks in their territories, they can ask the nobles for it.
The council files an application and then pays a certain price to obtain additional Forbidden Demon Stones.
Lux, who now has money in her hands, has enough money for the Forbidden Magic Stone materials, but the noble council is struggling - now the entire noble council is focusing on how to cause trouble for Jarvan III, daily
Almost no one is in charge of the work anymore; and the Illuminati and Demon Searchers in charge of the Forbidden Demon Stone now represent the royal family and the nobles, and they are fighting openly and secretly. At this time, even if Lux applies, I am afraid she will not
Even one ton of forbidden magic stone was sent to the north.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Everyone is busy fighting in the party. Apart from Forsbarrow, who else is working?
In order to solve this problem, Lux decided to cooperate with the Durang family. As a researcher of the Forbidden Demon Stone, the Dulang family's fiefdom, which has produced many stone carving masters, is located not far from Baiya City. On their fiefdom,
There is a private forest of forbidden magic tree fossils. If possible, Lux hopes to purchase a batch of forbidden magic stones from the Durang family to build city walls.
Although Lux herself has nothing to do with the Durang family, and the Crownguard family, once loyal dogs of the royal family, is not close to the Durang family, which has always remained neutral, but because of the Art Support Association, Lux can still more or less still
Talking to this family full of humanistic and artistic atmosphere, although there is no cooperation between the two parties, they can at least be regarded as acquaintances.
With this relationship, Lux tentatively sent a letter to the Durang family, wanting to discuss the Forbidden Demon Stone business, but she didn't know what the outcome would be.
If the Durang family can't do it, then Lux can only try to demolish part of the current Forsbarrow city wall and give priority to building the Forbidden Demon Stone Pier - although demolishing the east wall to make up for the west wall sounds like something like that.
It's a bit bad, but in fact, there is no need to use forbidden magic stones on the east wall of Forsbarrow (that is, the part of the pass that does not touch the enemy).
In addition to manpower and building materials, the construction model of the new city and new port also needs to be considered by Lacus. The shops in the new city and new port should be very expensive, but at the same time, they also need to be affordable for the temporarily impoverished immigrants. The policy scale of this requires Lacus.
The silk needs to be handled well.
The new city and new port construction plan was dismantled in detail, and Lux and Sona once again devoted themselves to the work. In order to leave sufficient space for the further development of the subsequent city and port, they must take into account both practicality and development as much as possible.
This in turn places extremely high demands on planning and construction levels.
After more than a year, all members of the Archon were once again transferred to become masters of dust. Except for the necessary manpower (such as the Fauquelin team), all the Archon were required to participate in the construction of this new city and new port.
The difference from before is that as a reward, the Dharma Protector will have his own residential area in the new city.
The current dormitory in Forsbarrow is very good, but after all, sometimes it is not convenient. Now the mages have a good social status in Forsbarrow. They are no longer demon-contaminated people who need to hide, but have a bright future.
Many of the legal guardians of the right age have found their significant other and have begun planning to get married.
Once they get married, it is almost impossible for them to live in a dormitory. It is based on this consideration that Lux will specially plan a royal area in the new city to house these people who have made great contributions to the development of Forsbarrow.
The protector of the law.
Although the Archon is full of gratitude to Lux and regards her as a mentor and leader, after coming to Forsbarrow, Lux will clearly reward the Archon every time he sends him out. This time in New City and New Port
Construction is no exception.
In this way, Lux mobilized manpower and prepared funds. At this time, she received a reply from the Dulang family.
The contemporary patriarch of the Durang family responded enthusiastically to Lux and said, "Forbidden magic stones and other things are simply not worth mentioning if they can win the friendship of a paragon of nobles."
Of course, he was being polite. At the end of the letter, he put forward his request in a rather tactful way - he hoped to revive the glory of his family through the Art Support Association. To do this, he needed to "take a good look at the history of his family ancestors."
Great work".
And the greatest work of the Durand family...is none other than Galio.
Lux happily agreed to the request of the patriarch of the Durand family. While writing to the Art Support Association in Xiongdu, she invited him to come to Forsbarrow for "art exchanges". At the end of the letter, she stated without leaving a trace that she was indeed
We really need the Forbidden Magic Stone, and I hope Mr. Durang can do it soon.
Then, when the preparations for the construction of the new city were completed, she received a reply from Mr. Durand.
"I'm carrying the raw materials for the Forbidden Demon Stone and I'm on my way now."
Mr. Durang's resolute behavior was somewhat beyond Lux's expectations - in fact, most Demacian nobles would dawdle for the sake of "aristocratic demeanor", and there were very few decisive people, and under Lux's
In my impression, anyone who has anything to do with art is a procrastinator.
Lux was already prepared to lay the foundation first and put the city wall aside for the time being. Unexpectedly, Mr. Durand had already set off.
Lacus was quite surprised by the efficiency of this quick and easy operation.
……………………
A month later, when the royal guards and the immigrants who used working hours in lieu of down payments had delineated the scope of New Fucheng (New Fushibairo City) according to the plan and laid the foundation, Mr. Durang and his family's motorcade,
Finally arrived at Forsbarrow successfully.
Lux met the aristocratic sculptor for the first time, and was shocked to find that he didn't look like an artist at all, but instead looked like a stonemason.
It is no exaggeration to say that this Mr. Durand is the most unlike a nobleman that Lux has ever seen.
Although the materials, patterns and accessories of his clothes are very exquisite, due to his habitual hunched body, Mr. Durand does not have an aristocratic demeanor at all in this outfit. Instead, he looks more like a liar wearing aristocratic clothes. If it weren't for his hand
It was covered with thick calluses caused by years of sculptures, and Lux didn't even dare to confirm the other party's identity at the first time.
"Mr. Durang, welcome to Forsbarrow!" Putting down the curiosity in her heart, Lux assumed a noble attitude and greeted Mr. Durang with a standard aristocratic smile, "The great sculptor is here.
, even remote areas are flourishing!"
Then, she saw Mr. Durang visibly shrinking his head.
This kind of behavior, as if a country bumpkin came to the city and saw a noble at a loss, made Lux a little stunned. She had never seen a noble who did not meet the standards of a noble!
The Durang family is a famous noble in Demacia. The current patriarch is actually such a person?
Realizing that her posture might make the other person uncomfortable, Lux decisively changed her appearance and began to try to get along with Mr. Durand as an artist. Then, she saw another side of Mr. Durang.
When talking about the art of sculpture, this guy who was like a country bumpkin suddenly became eloquent. He quickly grasped the rhythm of the conversation and began to criticize Lark mercilessly.
All the artists Si mentioned - except for a few who he considered "somewhat capable" - were all considered rubbish by him.
This isn't the end yet.
When Mr. Durang was talking about it, he even bluntly pointed out that Lux was "wasting her outstanding talent on boring aristocratic games." The implication is that if Lux can devote herself wholeheartedly to the field of art, her
The future will be limitless!
Lux was dumbfounded by these words. She finally understood why Mr. Durand, who had a distinguished family background and extraordinary artistic attainments, was marginalized by the Demacia Noble Council.
